Plant A Church

Please fill out the application form below

If you are interested in planting a church in partnership with New City Network, we invite you to submit an application. Our process for selecting partner churches prioritizes working with likeminded churches who share a commitment to our Statement of Beliefs and are planting in the Washington DC metropolitan area. We work closely with the North American Mission Board and utilize their church planter application and assessment processes as an entry point into our network.

This application is for those who are planning to plant a church in the DC metro area within the next 12 months or those who have planted a church in the DC metro area within the past three years.
